🚒☀️ Week 2 of Migrant Summer Camp was a blast! ☀️🚒. Our students had an amazing week filled with hands-on learning and fun! We visited East Manatee Fire Rescue, learned important fire safety tips, created magic melting rocks, painted masterpieces, spent time with Stella the Therapy Dog, and enjoyed so many other exciting activities.

A special thank you to the incredible team at East Manatee Fire Rescue for welcoming our students and making the visit both educational and memorable. We are so grateful for community partners who help make summer learning come alive!

Summer is off to a great start, and we can’t wait to see what Week 3 brings! ❤️😊
